CPD Success at Barr Group Oxford: Building Preservation & Waterproofing Insights

We’re delighted to share that the Shield Waterproofing and Preservation team recently had the pleasure of presenting two CPD seminars to the fantastic professionals at Barr Group Oxford. It was a privilege to be invited and to engage with such a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic team.

The CPDs focused on two essential topics in building preservation: Fungal Decay in Buildings and Basement Waterproofing Solutions. These sessions provided a deep dive into the causes, identification, and solutions for some of the most persistent issues faced by property professionals and contractors alike.

Sharing Knowledge That Protects Properties

At Shield Preservation, we believe that prevention is just as important as cure – and when it comes to building health, knowledge is power. Both fungal decay and below-ground moisture ingress can have serious implications for structural integrity, property value, and long-term maintenance costs.

By delivering CPDs like these, our goal is to give teams the practical insight they need to spot early warning signs, understand treatment options, and work confidently with preservation specialists.

We were genuinely impressed by the level of engagement from the Barr Group team – lots of great questions, case-based discussions, and shared experiences that made the sessions both interactive and informative. Thank you again for the warm welcome!
